"Miles Away" and "1775",
Bingo! I defined a few waypoints between the origin and destination to force a particular route and got what I was looking for. (I especially do this in areas which I am familiar.) The drag feature to change your route online is a great tool, similar to Yahoo maps et al.
The imported waypoint(s) are defined as a "Stop" (checkered flag) along the way to the final destination. So if you have several imported waypoints, you will see several "Stops" before the final destination.
Therefore in the 7725 "Detail View" and "Highway View" of the trip you are limited to the first Stop.
However, you can see the entire trip in the "Summary Map View" and "Trip Summary."
If there's supportive documentation for the GoodSam import feature it's sure is hiding/lacking.
I'm happy the way things are working now. I didn't want to give up on the 7725 because I really like how it works while on the road and the use of the Rand McNally Dock.
Thanks for the help.
